“Avidly told and often suspenseful, but it’s really a fascinating study of how corruption in America works. It sears you with its relevance.”~Variety

Aroview: Sombre drama exploring the incident known as the Chappaquiddick incident, in which Senator Ted Kennedy drove his car into a lake in 1969, killing his passenger and then failing to report the incident. The aftermath, including a calculated cover-up by the Kennedy family, is explored. Australian actor Jason Clarke provides a nuanced central performance.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) As far as dramatisations of true events go this one does a serviceable job sticking to the main issues and not being sidetracked by subplots for commercial reasons. File under "Crime". ~Tubbs
